What's it like being surrounded by birds?

“I wouldn’t say I’m surrounded by birds, but there’s definitely a bunch of ‘em on the island!”

“We’ve got Mikkel, another nurse at the school! De were brought on to lessen Aggie’s workload, from what I was told.”

“Then there’s Goose, who isn’t actually a bird, but she has the nickname and can grow wings sometimes, so she TECHNICALLY counts in my mind!

Actually, quick side tangent, I know I’ve been inactive for a while, but that’s because a LOT has been happenin’! For one, one of my uncles showed up on the island a couple months ago, and-”

[ Mat stops talking momentarily to stifle his laughter. ]

“I don’t entirely know what happened, but Goose apparently went full goose on him.. I guess he pissed her off, and I don’t think I’ve EVER heard Onkel scream like that! It was an experience, for sure!

Would he count as a bird? He’s got the hair for it- whatever, MORE BIRDS!”

“There’s Hanni and Monika, who I’m sure you guys knew about already! If not, Hannibal’s my younger brother, and Monika is a student in the Management Department! They’ve got their own blogs, so if you’ve got questions, you can go check ‘em out here and here!”

“Then there’s Krákur, who’s my fiiiirst cousin, I think? Family trees are hard to remember. BUT hen's a relative on my dad’s side! Hen and hens parents came to the island.. a month or two ago, I think. It’s been really fun getting to meet the other half of the family! I’ve only ever known my mom’s side, I didn’t even know my dad still talked to his family! Someone will have to remind me to get photos with tante Abí, onkel? Rúnar and onkte Fahren too..”

[ He trails off, bringing a noticeably not-fleshy hand up to scratch his face and kind of staring off into the middle distance for a moment. After a minute or two, he shakes his head. ]

“I’ll have to ask again what Rúnar uses pronoun-wise, and what title they want me to use. But that can wait until later, let’s get back on track!”

“Eir’s not technically a bird either, but she’s got the wings! She can’t really use them, though, they’re more for appearance than flight from what she’s told me!

I don’t have any recent photos of her on hand, but Mathilde’s technically a bird! She’s got the eyes and some bird-like dietary restrictions, and the four shoulder blades, just no actual wings! She’s a ‘lesbian penguin’, in her own words!”

“There’s Miss Michelle, who works as a hero and marine biologist on the island. I’ve only met her a handful of times, and that was mainly because she worked with my class during our first year! And she’s been a guest durin’ a few of our science classes too! She’s done lots of great work in her field, AND she has really pretty wings!!” (•̪ o •̪)

“But I thiiiink that’s it? Obviously, there’s bound to be more, there’s a LOT of people on the island after all! And there’s always new people showin’ up! It’s been really nice seein’ so many new faces, though. They’re all pretty nice, so I’d say I’m enjoyin' bein’ surrounded!”
